Soul Visioning Workshop with Vanessa Loder

It's easy to get stuck in tunnel vision, running a million miles a minute, checking things off your To Do list without checking in with you. This in person Soul Visioning workshop with acclaimed author Vanessa Loder will allow you to take the time and space you need to step back and get clarity on the path forward. In this one hour workshop, you’ll be guided into a meditation and future self visualization that will support you in feeling more calm, peaceful and expansive.

In this workshop, you’ll:

  • Clarify your life vision to help set more expansive, inspiring goals.

  • Tune into a deeper wisdom that knows the “right” path for you.

  • Create a vision for your life that’s bigger than you could’ve imagined alone.

  • Walk away with confidence that you can take easy, meaningful action.

  • Join a supportive community of like-minded souls.

$10/person. Register for this event here!

More Info
There is a more effective way to get what you want in life. It involves harnessing the power of the subconscious mind. Research has repeatedly shown that visualizing and connecting with “our best possible future self” makes us happier and more optimistic. It can also influence your behavior and help you to make healthier choices. When you connect with your future self while in a relaxed state, you're able to access parts of your mind that may have been repressed in an effort to please others, feel safe, loved or a sense of belonging. These unconscious parts have important wisdom to share. In this Soul Visioning Workshop, you’ll learn how to fast-track your ability to gain clarity and confidence in your next step.

Reclaiming Menopause with Dr. Ashton Perroni

Reclaiming Menopause is a workshop focused solely on women to explore how our hormones fluctuate throughout our lifetime. We are often told that the symptoms surrounding our period, fertility journey, pregnancy, postpartum and menopause are “normal”; in this workshop Dr. Ashton will explain how although these symptoms may be common, they are far from normal.

We will talk about all things menopause: when to start seeking treatment, how symptoms progress through this transition’s different phases, what treatment options are available and which may be the best fit for you. We will also explore the mental/emotional struggles and body image issues that come up through this transitional experience and how to find relief and clarity. By understanding how our hormones fluctuate throughout our cycle and life, we can shift our hormonal picture to make for a smoother fertility journey and transition into menopause.  

$10/person. Reserve a space for this amazing workshop here!

Dr. Ashton Perroni is a Board Licensed Naturopathic Doctor and graduate from Bastyr University California. She is the owner, medical director, and primary Naturopathic Doctor at Thyme Health, based in Lafayette and Pacifica.
